SCTV cast member Dave Thomas recalls:

"When Chevy Chase left the original SNL cast, Joe [Flaherty], John [Candy] and I auditioned for the open slot.

"Lorne came into town acting like a little prince. It was a painful audition. We did what was probably the worst improv of our lives. Bill Murray got the part.

"Afterward, Lorne told John Candy not to give up his day job. It was a joke, but John never forgot that.

"By SCTV’s second season, the sense of competition with SNL had disappeared because they’d become so big. We were only getting smaller—stations started dropping us. People were discouraged, but we kept filming. Things turned around once we made it to American networks.”

I think SCTV actually was very progressive. They did so jokes about things like lesbianism or sexuality, but it was never made out to be a big deal. Like in one of the Mel's Rock Piles in Season 2, I believe Dave Thomas and John Candy danced with each other on the show. And the joke wasn't about that, the joke was more just how awkward Mel was with addressing it. That's quite progressive for the late 70s and early 80s, in my opinion. I'll admit I have doubts as to if SNL could ever have pulled that off. They don't seem that progressive to me. SCTV was just better in every way.
